Meet Vikas Chauhan, our Sports Science/Strength & Conditioning Coach for the Wellington Phoenix Academy. Vikas joined the Phoenix Academy in April 2023 and brings a wealth of experience and passion for working with athletes of all age groups. He is deeply committed to the long-term athletic development of our players, which he believes is the foundation of any sport.

Vikas’ holistic approach to athlete development is centered around three key principles: Dr Movement (teaching the correct movement patterns), Dr Diet (nutrition and hydration), and Dr Quiet (sleep and rest). He finds great reward in the youth development process, witnessing the overall growth and progress of the athletes. In addition to his S&C role at the academy, Vikas also assists with the AUT sports and exercise lectures at Wellington Phoenix.

His dedication to the overall development of athletes ensures that they receive the comprehensive care and training they need to succeed both on and off the field.
